WWE RUINING Bobby Lashley AGAIN? Brock Lesnar TURNS On Paul Heyman! | WWE Raw Review

Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman & Roman Reigns

Raw opened on a shot of Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman backstage – meaning they’re finally on Monday nights for the first time since April! I’d forgotten what the Universal title actually looked like! Pretty horrid, actually. I preferred forgetting-

Lesnar’s Summerslam opponent Roman Reigns made his way down to the ring to call them out, but he only got Heyman. And that’s when WWE entered SummerSchlam mode! Because Roman used a naughty word. He’ll be sending Brock back to the UFC not as the Beast… but as Roman Reigns’ bitch. Because he’s the Big Dawg… and that metaphor gets kind of gross if you think about it too much.

This led to a series of genuinely fantastic backstage segments of Brock refusing to go to the ring and just reading an issue of The Backwoodsman – the self-described “magazine for the 21st century frontiersman”. Even when Kurt Angle threatened to fire Heyman, Lesnar either just told Paul to get him a medium well done steak – medium well, what a heel – and eventually yelling at Heyman that they’re not friends.

 

Baron Corbin beat Finn Balor

The long opening match saw Baron Corbin beat Finn Balor. Sadly it just flattens out both men with 50/50 booking, after Balor’s victory at Extreme Rules.
